I have been making a quite a few pairs of these convertible gloves for my Etsy store, and I decided to add some color with the spike stitch. The spike stitch is just an elongated single crochet, that can be worked 2,3 or 4 rows below the one you are on.
If you are interested in a printable pdf of this pattern you can find one in my Etsy store.
